PEEFAOE. 


If  teachers  will  follow  the  instructions  given  in  the 
Manual,  I  shall  have  no  occasion  to  regret  the  prepara- 
tion of  this  book ;  but  if  it  is  used  as  such  books  may  be 
used,  it  would  have  been  better  not  to  add  another  to 
the  many  facilities  now  afforded  teachers  for  tne  thought- 
less oral  spelling  of  columns  of  words. 

It  is  a  great  convenience  to  the  teacher  to  have  groups- 
of  words  arranged  with  reference  to  their  orthographical 
peculiarities;  but  the  teacher  who  simply  pronounces 
these  words,  with  no  discussion  or  application  of  theii 
meaning  or  use,  comes  very  far  short  of  his  duty  in  the 
spelling  recitation. 

The  pupil  should  first  get  the  idea  which  the  word 
represents,  then  associate  the  idea  with  the  word,  and 
lastly,  write  the  word.  This  requires  the  most  careful 
and  critical  examination  of  the  spelling  lesson  on  the 
part  of  the  teacher,  without  which,  it  is  not  possible  to 
attain  the  highest  success  in  teaching  children  to  spell. 

I  have  not  attempted  to  indicate  the  number  of  words, 
that  shall  be  taken  up  at  a  lesson.  No  one  can  know 
this  so  well  as  the  teacher. 

The  words  are  arranged  in  long  columns  as  a  matter 
of  economy.  They  are  first  grouped  with  reference  to 
the  vowel  element  in  the  accented  syllable.  In  the  re- 
views, a  different  classification  is  adopted,  still  based  on 


iv  PREFACE. 

orthographical  peculiarities,  but  the  words  are  so  ar- 
ranged as  to  break  up  the  former  association,  and  thus 
test  the  pupil's  ability  to  spell  them,  independent  of  their 
classification. 

I  have  omitted  all  rules  for  spelling  as  being  cumber- 
some, confusing,  and  unreliable.  Any  person  who  would 
spell  well,  must  form  the  habit  of  spelling  correctly,  so 
that,  without  reflection,  he  will  be  able  to  write  rapidly 
and  correctly.  This  can  only  be  acquired  by  writing 
words  over  and  over  again,  until,  from  mere  habit,  he 
writes  them  correctly.  With  this  view,  it  is  important 
that  the  words  should  be  correctly  written  from  the  very 
first. 

The  proper  pronunciation  of  the  words  is  determined, 
for  the  most  part,  by  the  accent  and  the  classification. 

If  the  accent  is  on  any  other  than  the  first  syllable  it 
is  indicated  by  the  usual  mark. 

In  the  more  advanced  review  lessons,  the  ability  to 
syllabicate  and  pronounce  correctly  is  tested,  —  a  point 
to  which  the  teacher  should  give  careful  attention. 

It  will  be  observed  that  the  book  is  arranged  in  six 
parts,  and,  in  a  graded  school,  may  cover  as  many  years, 
beginning  with  the  intermediate  department. 

With  rare  exceptions,  I  have  taken  Webster  as  au- 
thority in  spelling,  syllabication,  and  pronunciation.  In 
a  few  instances,  however,  I  have  adopted  the  preference 
of  Worcester  rather  than  that  of  Webster,  where  it  is 
plainly  more  in  accordance  with  general  usage.
